Runtime optimizations and a thorough evaluation process driven by agentic AI help ensure that models written in PyTorch will execute efficiently and reliably on Trainium systems.
Using the Neuron Kernel Interface, a Reactor–AWS collaboration tackled the dynamic shapes, memory access patterns, and cache management that make real-time autoregressive diffusion hard—building techniques that generalize across models.
Three new papers from Amazon Bio Discovery address bottlenecks in AI-driven antibody engineering, from benchmarking binding predictors to experimentally validating de novo design.
New research indicates that AI agents learn compressible models of data, which don’t have enough space to enable memorization.
How the Verus "program verifier", which automatically checks code against a mathematical specification of its functionality, helps increase security assurance in software projects.
Ten years after we founded the Automated Reasoning Group, mathematical logic has moved from academic research into production services that secure millions of customer workloads — demonstrating that systems can be provably correct, not just probably correct.

COLING 20202020In large-scale commercial dialog systems, users express the same request in a wide variety of alternative ways with a long tail of less-frequent alternatives. Handling the full range of this distribution is challenging, in particular when relying on manual annotations. However, the same users also provide useful implicit feedback as they often paraphrase an utterance if the dialog system failed to understand

COLING 20202020Speech disfluencies have been hypothesized to occur before words that are less predictable and therefore more cognitively demanding. In this paper, we revisit this hypothesis by using OpenAI’s GPT-2 to calculate predictability of words as language model perplexity. Using the Switchboard corpus, we find that 51% of disfluencies occur at the highest, second highest, or within one token of the highest perplexity

Transactions of the Association for Computational Linguistics2020We describe an unsupervised method to create pseudo-parallel corpora for machine translation (MT) from unaligned text. We use multilingual BERT to create source and target sentence embeddings for nearest-neighbor search and adapt the model via self-training. We validate our technique by extracting parallel sentence pairs on the BUCC 2017 bitext mining task and observe up to a 24.5-point increase (absolute

COLING 20202020Currently, in spoken language understanding (SLU) systems, the automatic speech recognition (ASR) module produces multiple interpretations (or hypotheses) for the input audio signal and the natural language understanding (NLU) module takes the one with the highest confidence score for domain or intent classification. However, the interpretations can be noisy, and solely relying on one interpretation can

COLING 20202020This paper addresses the question as to what degree a BERT-based multilingual Spoken Language Understanding (SLU) model can transfer knowledge across languages. Through experiments we will show that, although it works substantially well even on distant language groups, there is still a gap to the ideal multilingual performance. In addition, we propose a novel BERT-based adversarial model architecture to
